I’m having some computer troubles (hard drive crashed and burned) or I’d show you some of the projects/layouts I’ve made with these beauties. But for now I wanted to let you know about the sale and hope you get a chance to get in on these great deals!

Till next time! Have a great week and all my wishes for a great Christmas weekend! And a very Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Hi All, it’s getting down to the wire in this crazy contest called “Brownie Scraps Survivor” and this week I’m on Team Screws (I can’t make these things up) and we’re in the final hours of trying to win the Immunity Challenge this week.

If you have two seconds (really that’s all it takes) and can give our team a vote I’d surely appreciate it!!

Coincidentally I made this week’s avi with Jodiann’s Robot Princess Styles (oh I love CU products!!) The Brownie Scraps Survivor Challenge is all CU free, we have to make our own for the challenges and I gotta tell you it’s killing me, I have all these wonderful goodies of Jodiann’s to work with and I can’t!!

Second, the kits from week one are ready!! Everyone was assigned a portion, I was given:

Three solid papers, and one each: frame, word art, ric rac, flower, button and metallic object. All items were made with no CU and windows standard fonts. Whew! That was tough, but I think I did well.

First, here’s my portion:

Here’s my whole team’s preview:

To download the kit go to Brownie Scraps gallery, (links are in the preview description) and while you’re there if you could please leave my teammates a little love too? I will have an add on kit soon, so stay tuned for that.

Just stopping in real quick to let ya’ll know about the template freebie I’ve made for “Brownie Scraps Survivor.”

Here’s a closer peek at the layout I made it from, one of my favorites: Made with Melly Scraps Animal Skins (and a few other MS things too, click on image for full list of credits please.)

And I gotta say I love the flowers peeking out from behind the pictures, I really surprised myself with that one. If you are interested in downloading the freebie template (and I hope you are) just click on the image below it will take you to the linked gallery page at Brownie Scraps (and you can check out all the other great freebie entries too!)

By Friday I should have links to my 1st collab! Week One’s Survivor Challenge has teamed us up to create a full kit with our “island mates” the color palette is coming together and I’m excited to see how it will all come together all my team mates have great ideas!!

Or tomorrow, or later today, depends on when you’re reading this actually.

Sorry for the last minute update but Trixie is hosting a speed scrap and you should really be there!

And here is the participation prize you'll get for playing along - it coordinates with her recent new collection with Bella Gypsy, Saffron Blues! I love add-on pieces for things I already own, don't you? Play along with the Speed Scrap today and these cute gingham papers can be yours!

I can tell you these are a great group of ladies and fantastic supportive team to be on, so if you’re interested now’s your chance to join in! You’ve seen the great things I’ve made with Trixie’s kits, just think of what you could do!!

Trixie Scraps is having a CT Call to fill some job openings on her team! She only has one big call like this per year, so make sure you send your application in! After you check the job posting board, and find a position you are interested in, please send your full name, your forum username(s), a link to your best gallery, and a note telling Trixie why you'd like to be on her team to ctcalls@trixiescraps.com no later than July 30th. All applicants will receive a confirmation of their application upon receipt. A final decision note will be emailed to all applicants no later than August 5th. Trixie is looking for layout artists and guests, a quickpage artist, a hybrid artist, and a team of special agents (praisers). Requirements are listed above in the ad. Thanks so much for applying for our team - I can't wait to see who will become the next Scrap Star!

A simple card yes, but it’s also the start towards my goal. What goal is that? To start making cards for Operation Write Home. (Formerly know as Cards for Heroes.)

A fantastic nonprofit group who’s simple mission is: “Supporting our nation's armed forces by sending blank handmade greeting cards to write home on, as well as cards of gratitude to encourage them.”

I hope ya’ll will go check them out and if you can’t contribute cards maybe send a little donation, it doesn’t take much money to send off their boxes and every little bit helps, because they are not just reboxing. They are sorting, checking, and fixing up cards injured in shipment. Or worse, did you know glitter can kill?? Glitter is really the only no-no at OWH (other than death images, go figure) because glitter can get on a soldiers uniform and basically will show up in the enemy’s night vision goggles. Yah really!! So no glitter for the soldiers please.

You’ll be seeing lots more from me on this in the future, not sure (and I’m not being sarcastic, this time anyway) why this has taken such a spot in my heart, could be an almost lifetime spent as an Air Force brat, spouse and now ANG supporter oh and those many years spent as a government employee too. You just get it in your blood and can’t shake it, I guess. Plus it will be a great way to use of the obscene stash of paper goodies I have accumulated (and keep buying although I rarely use them like I should) over the years and now rarely use since the switch to digi. And a great place to send my hybrid “samples” to also. So please check them out.

Ok, so shall we continue?…..

Melly Scraps has a Fourth themed kit too, this one is a tad more masculine and I love it too.

By dawn’s early light are those worn edge papers I see?!? {swoon} And some lovely word bits too? And check out the Rugged Alpha included with kit! And an add on alpha that’s just too fun!

And now for the first freebie, I’m made a QP of my Rugged Americana layout.

Then we have Trixie Scraps “My Summer Garden” oh, I love this one! I really enjoy by veggie garden, I’m kind of a girly girl that I don’t particularly like my hands dirty but once I get over myself I’m all in, except the grass part, allergic to grass, kinda take some of the fun out.

Scamper over and check it out. And BTW every other week I do a new post of hybrid goodness, and the ladies on the team are doing posts everyday, some fun challenges with great prizes plus great freebies and lots of great stuff happens all the time over there so please swing by and check out the fun.

And that’s where I’m going to wrap things up with you today. I have some great things coming up that I can’t wait to finish so I can show you. Like: I got a hybrid guest spot with Amy Stoffel of Scrap Orchard and I’m so excited to show you the little something I made with the kit she’s releasing later this week.

And of course the dear Lady Janice of Scrapper’s Delights has an Alice In Wonderland inspired kit, that’s just too much! Oh I can’t wait to finish up my LO’s (and at least one hybrid) so I can show you.

I’m sure I had more going on last month than this, but talking about all the stuff I need to do has me itching to get started so off I go!

Sending my wishes that you and your family have a fun and safe holiday weekend!! (Wear sunscreen, ear protection and have bucket of water ready to put out the flames!) We’ll see you again soon!
